Liz Crow Seminar
Tuesday 16 March 4-6pm
Lecture Theatre Complex, with refreshments afterwards in the foyer.
The developing Centre for Culture & Disability Studies (CCDS), in the
Education Faculty at Liverpool Hope University, presents a seminar with the
artist and activist Liz Crow.
Back in August, Liz Crow sat on the Fourth Plinth on a crowded Saturday
night in Trafalgar Square as part of Anthony Gormley's One & Other project.
She sat on her wheelchair wearing full Nazi regalia to draw attention to a
hidden history and the message it holds for us all today.
Selected as one of The Guardians Trafalgar Top Ten, Liz's performance on
the plinth was part of a larger film-based project that is touring the UK and
internationally. Resistance: which way the future? explores the Nazi
programme that targeted disabled people, reflecting on what this history
means for us now and inviting audiences to shape things to come.
In this seminar, Liz will talk about her work, screen extracts and discuss what
it means to create new cultural representations of disability as a tool for
change.
